16 THE UNIVERSE 



force and physical life is created by contact of op- 

 posite electrical polarities in the magnetic cushion 

 surrounding all suns and planets. 



The sun furnishes the positive electricity and the 

 planet or satellite the negative, and from these two 

 spring all the cosmic and material forces of the 

 universe. The electric currents of the sun create 

 induced magnetic currents on the earth, which evolves 

 all visible substance and life forms. 



The earth at its center is a magnet of crystalline 

 rock and varied metals, placed layer upon layer as a 

 thermopile or voltaic battery, which constitutes the 

 solid core of the earth magnet, and draws and 

 holds all matter and substance atoms and atmos- 

 phere close to its magnetic heart, so that nothing 

 can be thrown off of its vast surface, though it 

 shoots through space fifty times faster than a bul- 

 let from a rifle and whirls round with the speed of a 

 revolving cylinder of a dynamo. Its swift duplicate 

 motion makes it a working battery or arc dynamo 

 of marvelous power. It draws all things to its 

 magnetic center as the magnetic core of a steel mag- 

 net draws filings of iron and other metals to its 

 magnetic surface, and they cluster there in the 

 same spherical form. 



This earth magnet drew countless meteors, swarms 

 of nebulae and invisible matter from surrounding 

 space, and grew in size and magnetic power as a 

 steel magnet may grow by adding other countless 

 magnets with their increasing power and growing 

 accretions. For my theory is that every atom is 

 a tiny magnet, and every molecule, meteor and 

 visible form of matter is a combination and aggrega- 

 tion of magnets.
